Is it possible to mute video audio and play music?

I am trying to put together a video and would like to at one point in the video mute the video audio and play a bit of music during the video and then after that section un mute the video audio and mute the music.
Can this be done in iMovie 09 and if so how?
Thanks

If you're Airplaying from you computer, you might be able to do this. Here's what I would try:
Go to the Airplay icon in iTunes. You should see both your Apple TV and your speakers listed as options. Select "Multiple speakers." You'll see both devices together. Turn the volume all the way down on the Apple TV. You should be getting the video on the TV, but only hear audio through the speakers.
Using the "Multiple Speakers" option will sync the output of your devices so that the sound matches the picture.
I haven't tried this myself, but I'm thinking this would work. However, this approach will only work when using Airplay from your computer – not from am iPad or iPhone – as they don’t have the "Multiple Speakers" option (as far as I know). It also won't work with content streamed directly to your ATV, obviously, because there's no way to stream from ATV to other devices.
Let me know if this works.

  • In the past when I have imported my dslr video/audio files and then my zoom audio files Final Cut Pro has organized them in pairs in my library. For some reason my video/audio and my audio are being organized seperately. How do I fix this? Thanks!

    Thank you Russ! Seems as though the timestamp on my audio files was completely incorrect so it placed the files far away from the corresponding video. I've modified the timestamp information and this has helped. The hour/minute information is incorrect but at least now I'm in the ballpark. Thank you!

  • No audio when playing music and videos

    need help on my iphone 4s...no audio when playing music or watching videos...no volume display and volume buttons dont function...

    Clean the dock connector and headphone jack.  Lint or debris in either of this could cause this issue.
    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Record a selected Video, Audio and Subtitle track in low res for proof.

    I am moving my DVD Authoring from Spruce Maestro to DVD Studio Pro.
    The DVDs I create have 25 languages on them that need to be proofed by 25 different people all over the world. In the Spruce system I could just manually record the output with whatever video, audio and subtitle track that needed to be proofed in a WMV file format and then email the proof version before final burn.
    Now in DVD Studio Pro and can not seem to get an analog output to do a manual record. I have purchased an additional video card for my Mac Pro that has S-Video and that does not work. I have the DVI to S-Video converter cable but I can not select that output when it is active. I have tried the export function but that only changes the m2v file into a mpg file, so that does not work.
    Do you have any other suggestions - this is very important for my operation.
    Thank you, Ron Cole 209-604-5415

    very interesting. I do a lot with translation, though my maximum has been 16 languages on a single disc.
    There are a couple things you could do.
    1) One is just to do a screen capture using something like Screenflow to capture and process the single streams you want to output.
    2) I think the first approach is a little arduous. Better would be to use the power of Final Cut even before you get to DVD SP. Unfortunately I don't know your entire workflow. But subtitles can now be done in Final Cut and then carry forward into DVD SP. I'd lay out my edit and soundtrack and subtitles in FCP, and then export a file of my choice and size and have it automatically uploaded. This could be done right out of FCP or by creating a batch in Compressor. Changes, as they came back, would be applied in FCP. Once you had final approval (golden words), I'd move into Compressor to create M2v and ac3 files.
    My projects are done with similar workflows. I then have to ship off translated graphics for the DVD menus. That can be dealt with at the end in a finalized disc or preferably sending off stills for an early approval.
    Make sense?

  • Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard f

    I bought Quicktime pro because it said it could "Convert and save video, audio, and images to more than a hundred standard formats". I have .mov that i took and want to change to an .avi
    I feel stupid but how do i do it? shouldn't there be a "convert" or "save as" button?

    AVI isn't dead, it remains the ONLY format in which any real editing can be performed (ie filters and colors and zooms etc). That said, converting FROM any compressed format like .mov back to an uncompressed format will not restore the information lost in the original compression conversion. Like the man said, you probably won't like the result. If you want to make an AVI to edit artistically, you'll need to go back to the source and re-record it to make an original uncompressed avi (example I use 'DVD to AVI converter' software to recode my homemade DVDs to a huge uncompressed AVI, then play with cutting and cropping and zooming and special effects and color filters, etc in a program such as VirtualDub, an THEN open in QT Pro to convert to MOVs to share).

  • What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?

    What is the best Apple notebook for video editing and pro music creation?
    I know I could opt for the most expensive and probably get what I want that way, but I´m not made of money, so what are your suggestions for minimum criteria and which would you recommend?

    MacBooks Pro are great Macs with a good hardware, so all of them will work for the use you want, but I think that you want the biggest display possible because of your uses. In this case, it has to be a 15-inch non-Retina MacBook Pro, with the settings you want. Note that, after buying the Mac, you can upgrade the HDD and memory without voiding the warranty, so you are free to install as much memory and the HDD size you want after buying it. It's my opinion, but you are free to do whatever you think it's better

  • VoIP Phone Call from mobile to PC - Streaming the audio and playing it back

    In short:
    How can I stream the audio captured from a mobile to PC and play it back.
    In brief:
    I am trying to develope an application to chat(voice) between a J2ME program and a Java program which is running in a PC.
    Currently I am able to send and receive the text message by using SIP protocol after establishing session by using SIP protocol.
    As a next step, I want to capture the audio and play back in PC and Mobile.
    Now, I am able to capture audio from the microphone of the mobile.
    Player p =Manager.createPlayer("capture://audio?rate=8000&bits=8&Channels=1");
                    p.realize();
                    // get the RecordControl over this Player
                    RecordControl rc = (RecordControl)p.getControl("RecordControl");
                    // create an OutputStream which the RecordControl will use
                    // to write write the recorded data.
                    ByteArrayOutputStream output = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                    rc.setRecordStream(output);
                    // start the recording
                    rc.startRecord();
                    p.start();How can I stream it to PC and play it back? Also, I need to send audio captured from PC to mobile and have to play it back.
    Pl. do reply.

    now I am able to play the stream (with some delay),
    while(inputStream.read(buf)!=-1) {
                        try {
                            ByteArrayInputStream recordedInputStream = new ByteArrayInputStream(buf);
                            play2 = Manager.createPlayer(recordedInputStream, "audio/x-wav");
                            System.out.println("Playback player created...");
                            play2.prefetch();
                            System.out.println("Playback player prefetched...");
                            play2.realize();
                            System.out.println("Playback player realized...");
                            play2.start();
                            System.out.println("Playback player started...");
                        } catch (MediaException ex) {
                            ex.printStackTrace();
                        } catch(Exception e) {
                            e.printStackTrace();
                        }But, the problem is , I have to play the audio, as well as capture the audio to create the duplex communication.
    Is it possible to do the audio capture and playback simultaneously? If it is not possible, pl suggest an idea to achieve this.

  • How to open and play music on Beats Audio in my new HP ENVY PC

    I bought a new HP ENVY PC that comes with Beats Audio.
    How to I open it and play music?
    How to I import music to Beats Audio?
    Thanks fr your help

    Hi,
    Beats audio does not provide a program for playing music. You can open Beats audio in Control Panel and configure sound characteristics using the various options available such as the graphics equalizer.
    You can play music by opening Windows Media Player or using Cyberlink PowerDVD.
    You can also "Google" media players for other programs.

  • My ipod video 30gb's sound isn't working when I try and play music, however I can still hear the clicker?

    I just retrieved this old iPod from my room as when I got an iPhone I completely abandoned the iPod, I believe the model is a 30GB video.
    I can hear the clicker without headphones but when I plug my headphones in and play music, I can't hear anything, and this isn't a problem with the headphones because I have tried with several different types.
    Hope someone can help.
    - vrda

    Usually this is a good indication of a damaged headphone jack, meaning, you'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

    But I find it impossible to see a slideshow on my tv-set .
    Can you tell me the connections and settings to obtain a slide-show with music on my tv-set. I don't have a dockingstation with SVHS or audio connection.
    What type of cables do I need to see my slide-show with music like you said you could obtain without a docking mount on your own tv-set?
